If you have EAI mail, which you do if you have a UTF-8 domain in a From header, the U-label form is preferred. It'd be better to say that in an EAI environment, A-labels and U-labels are equivalent, and per RFC 8616 you should use the U-label in A-R headers. Don't have a strong opinion about what goes into the reports but in aggregate reports, A-labels would likely surprise fewer people.
